Im thinking of doing a sapphire and ruby cosplay with one of my friends, would you have any tips on do's and don'ts?
from our personal experience
do: -use armsocks for ruby-use water activated paint for your arms as sapphire or even armsocks-seal everything once twice, three times, four times, throughout the day-make sure your paint isn’t too dark, especially for sapphire because half of your face is already covered with bangs -make sure your paint covers all exposed skin, the fleshy tone will scream out against your paint-make sure your petticoat/hoopskirt don’t drag on the ground-contour your face!! -retouch your make up before any shoots/gatherings
dont:-use cream for your arms-use magicolor aquapaint for your whole face. it sucks. i messed up bad HAHA-make your dress too small-participate in strenuous sweat inducing activities-use fabric that the paint might stain onto. (my sleeves are splashed with red blue and purple)-again, i emphasize, dont use dark paint-be afraid to photoshop your paint in photos HAHA
